Shutting Down Manaforge Ara (ID 10323)

Shutting Down Manaforge Ara is a group quest for level 25-30 in Netherstorm. It is step 9 of 103 in the Netherstorm storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Netherstorm at 32.0, 64.2. It rewards 2 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

One manaforge is all that keeps Tempest Keep functional. After we bring Manaforge Ara down, Kael will have to resort to depleting whatever energy he's got stored up.

Travel to Manaforge Ara, in the northwest, and deliver the final blow that we need by shutting it down.

The last access crystal is in the possession of Overseer Azarad. Be warned that we expect heavy opposition in the last of Kael's functional manaforges. You're likely to need the assistance of reliable friends.

About three times more mobs spawn to try and stop you, so it's harder than the other manaforges but still pretty easy so long as you have the suggested 3 people. Elite spawns at the end, he's also straightforward and easy to kill.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shutting Down Manaforge DuroNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    We've received news from one of the two manaforges that remain operational. The Sunfury army is losing control of Manaforge Duro. Droves of errant mana creatures have been attracted to it by its increased energy production - the manaforge is in chaos.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sunfury BriefingsNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    Something about these manaforges has been bothering me, <name>. Naaru technology is incredibly advanced; it should've taken Kael'thas years to even begin to understand it.
